Winding Down

Thankfully, the Sixers' season is coming to a close. I don't think I'd have been able to withstand another week of feel good hype for a season that has been my most disappointing as a season ticket holder.

I'm not disappointed that we're a bad team. I'm disappointed because we're a bad team, but the front office is hell bent on telling us that we're seriously on the rise.

Take the case of Andre Iguodala. have two problems with the pro Andre hype.

Problem one, we continue to hear how nobody on the coaching staff, knew Iguodala was this good, yet for some reason, Allen Iverson and Chris Webber were blamed for hindering his growth.

Hmmm, it sounds more like the coaching staff didn't have a grip on his talents, and didn't do anything to cultivate him in the attack. Funny, wasn't that Iguodala dropping 30 in the rookie/soph game last year? Wasn't that Iguodala who came out blazing after the all-star break last year? But our coaching staff didn't know he was this good. Right. Please sell that noise somewhere else.

My primary point here, is that our team has a lot of work cut out for them next season, and our coaching staff and front office isn't doing anybody any good by treating this season like it was a good one. They need to take a cold hard look at the facts and the film, if this team is going to have any chance of getting to the playoffs next season.
